“Last Resort” by Papa Roach, the new official song of Monday Night Meltdown, blares through the arena as various colored pyros go off at the top of the ramp. The camera swirls around the crowd before cutting to the announce table.

I’m Trent Heart and I’m proud to announce that we are only three weeks away from “Tournament of Glory.” Tonight, we will determine 3 of the 8 men from Meltdown that will be competing in the tournament.

The participants are determined previous to the program, but don’t know who they will be facing. We don’t even know who will be partaking in the qualifying matches.

Also, “Tournament of Glory” will feature all interpromotional matches, so the men that win their qualifying matches tonight won’t know who they will be facing at “Tournament of Glory” either…they’ll only know that it will be a man who qualified from Warzone.

Also, tonight’s Main Event will be an ROG World Heavyweight Championship Rematch from “Glory Games.” Ricky Reynolds and The Sound shall bid war yet again for said title.

And some fallout from “Glory Games” includes the fact the Meltdown proved to be the superior brand by defeating Warzone in the Main Event last night.

What a match that was! Meltdown overcame a 2 – 4 disadvantage to win as Jose and Dash Blade gave it their all to be called the elite!

It was truly a memorable showing…tonight’s Meltdown will also feature a Cinco De Mayo Celebration.

So much excitement and surprises in one event! Let’s get started right away with a “Tournament of Glory” qualifying match!

This contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a “Tournament of Glory” qualifying match!

There is a long pause as the crowd waits in anticipation. Suddenly, “Always” by Saliva starts up and Zachary enters the arena. The crowd heavily cheers for Zachary as he walks down the ramp with a smug smile on his face. Zachary slides into the ring.

He comes to the ring as a free man, having dropped Tristian Artist last night.

Tristian Artist was dead weight…Zachary had to do it, or else he would’ve never gotten anywhere.

And his opponent…

Another long pause ensues until “Crank Dat” plays and Tristian Artist enters the arena. Zachary laughs in the ring as Tristian Artist slowly walks down the ramp. Tristian Artist climbs up the steel steps and enters the ring. Tristian Artist extends his hand, but Zachary swats it away.

Hello, minions. I decided to make my presence known right here, right now by making a very important decision revolving around this match.

“Always” starts up again as Zachary celebrates in the ring. Zachary runs around the ring, obviously happy with qualifying for the “Tournament of Glory.” Tristian comes to and sits up. Ed Richards informs him of his status and Tristian suddenly has a look of disgust on his face. You can see tears run down his face as he argues with Ed Richards about the results.

Tristian exits the ring and walks up the ramp, disappearing into the back and to never be heard from again as Zach continues celebrating in the ring. Zach walks up the ramp and exits the arena.

Flair3 pulled out a magnificent victory here tonight and he will indeed be going to the “Tournament of Glory” on behalf of Meltdown!

2 of the 8 men representing Meltdown have been decided already…who else will get this coveted opportunity? Stay tuned to find out.

“99 Problems” begins to play as David Simou enters the arena. He’s wearing a very nice suit and tie as he walks down the ramp. David Simou climbs up the steel steps and enters the ring. David Simou calls for a mic.

I wonder why our GM has come out here tonight.

Well, maybe if you shut up then you’ll know!

Hello all. For those who don’t know, I am David Simou…the GM of Meltdown and the President of ROG. This past Sunday at “Glory Games” there was a monumental Main Event that consisted of 5 men from Meltdown and 5 men from Warzone. Early on, we lost 2 men. This was hard, but we came back shortly by eliminating one of theirs. We would then lose our muscle in Black Dagger when Randy Rampage pinned him. This left us at a 2-4 disadvantage. Jose and Dash Blade were the remaining members of Team Meltdown. They managed to overcome their differences and ban together to take out Randy Rampage and Jokerman. This put us at even odds with Warzone. The Legend Killer and WWEFan vs. Jose and Dash Blade. The Legend Killer opted to be the brave one, but he fell like the rest to the duo of Jose and Dash Blade. We now had the advantage. WWEFan tried to have The Legend Killer cause distractions and separate the great tandem, but it didn’t work for too long and we overcame by defeating WWEFan and Team Warzone effectively.

The crowd cheers loudly.

I have come out here to celebrate this momentous occasion. First of all, I would like to announce that anyone from Team Meltdown that scored an elimination against Team Warzone will be granted 1 favor from me! Whatever it is, you got it. Now I will go to my next act of business. Today is Cinco De Mayo as many of you know and I would like to celebrate today. So without further ado, here’s my tribute to Cinco De Mayo!

Mariachi music plays as a bunch of Mexicans in sombreros enter the arena. Each one of them is playing some sort of instrument and they form a marching line down the ramp and into the ring. They continue to play their music as David Simou dances along. Suddenly, “Metalingus” starts up an Jose enters the arena with Colton and The Chaos Kid by his side. None of them carry their belt to the ring. The Mariachi band has stopped playing their instruments and The Puerto Rican Express walks down the ramp. Jose has a mic in hand. They all slide into the ring.

What the hell is this, Simou? Are you trying to disrespect our culture with this disgraceful act?

No, of course not. Why would I try to disrespect three of my champions or their culture?

I’m not really sure, but I don’t appreciate this. As a matter of fact…

Jose snaps his finger and Colton begins to destroy the entire Mariachi band. Colton tosses bodies left and right around the ring. One of the Mariachi players hits Colton in the back of the head with his guitar, but Colton is unaffected. The chubby Mariachi player attempts to run away, but The Chaos Kid stop him and kick him in the gut. Colton walks over and dives him to the mat with the Corkscrew Neckbreaker. The rest of the Mariachi band scurry out of the ring and run up the ramp. Jose and The Chaos Kid climb up to the top rope. Jose and The Chaos Kid soar off of the top rope at the same time and simultaneously nail the Spiral Tap and a Top Rope Leg Drop on the Mariachi player. He twitches on the mat as Jose gets back to his feet and grabs the mic.

See what happens when you disrespect us?

What the hell!? I paid good money for these guys to perform! I wasn’t trying to disrespect your damn culture! I just wanted to give the people at home and in attendance a show!

Well, we didn’t like it. I regret to inform you, but nobody is going to want to play for you anymore. Now as for that favor that you promised me…I would like to cash it in.

Fine…what would you like?

Well…it’s very simple. I have noticed that The Chaos Kid, Colton, nor myself have a qualifying match for the “Tournament of Glory.” We would all like on.

I can’t do that.

Why not?

Because we already have 3 qualifying matches tonight and the Main Event. We simply don’t have room for you this week.

Fine…then I demand that all three of us have qualifying matches next week! Deal?

Alright. But, they won’t be easy…you can count on that. How dare you ruin my band!

You’ll get over it. As for us, we’re gone.

“Metalingus” plays as Jose exits the ring and The Chaos Kid and Colton follow closely behind him. David Simou is seen murmuring under his breath in the ring. The Puerto Rican Express disappear backstage as David Simou exits the ring and follows.

The audacity of The Puerto Rican Express! How dare they interrupt our GM?

He was offended at that despicable display. At least he got what he wanted.

That’s right. Next week, The Puerto Rican Express will all have qualifying matches for the “Tournament of Glory.”

The camera cuts to the backstage area where David Simou is walking back to his office. He is intercepted by Dash Blade.

Hey boss! So, about that promise that you made. I do recall that I scored at least 1 elimination at “Glory Games,” so I’d like to have a qualifying match for the “Tournament of Glory” next week.

Next week is full. The Puerto Rican Express got it before you. You can have it two weeks from now if you’d like.

I guess that’s cool.

Good…I’ll get something set up for you in two weeks.

Alright, boss.

Dash Blade walks off and David Simou enters his office and slams the door. You can hear things being thrown around and screaming from the inside.

Another qualifying match for the “Tournament of Glory” is about to be underway.

This contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a qualifying match for the “Tournament of Glory!” Introducing first…

A long pause occurs until “Mr. Jones” starts up on the speakers. Lojax emerges from the back as the crowd explodes into cheers. Lojax sprints down the ramp as the crowd begins to sing the Canadian National Anthem. Lojax smirks upon sliding into the ring and looks around the arena in amazement.

Hailing from Vancouver British Columbia, Canada and weighing in at 122 pounds…Lojax!

Here is the man who defeated his mortal enemy upon arriving in ROG, Matt Lee, at “Glory Games.”

And what a stellar match that was. The two competitors went at it for quite some time, but Lojax proved to have a little more in the tank.

And his opponent…

The lights dim and red mist begins to shroud the arena. “The Fight Song” then blares through the arena as Dante Diablo enters the arena. Dante Diablo slowly walks down the ramp and climbs up the steel steps. Dante Diablo looks directly into Lojax’s eyes, which show no fear. Dante Diablo enters the ring and the mist subdues.

Hailing from the City of Satan and weighing in at 245 pounds…Dante Diablo!

Lojax isn’t a lucky man. He’s facing the cult antagonist that is over twice his size.

Lojax is going to have to pull out all the stops is he wants to win this one…and there’s always the discrete possibility of Matt Lee lurking.

Lojax collapses and Diablo lands on top of him. 1…2…kick out.

Much of Lojax’s offense is cut off due to the size differences between the two.

Once Diablo does Lojax jumps off of the top rope and looks for a Huracanrana, but Diablo catches him and nails him with the Soul Reaper. Diablo’s legs are wobbly as the lights flicker and a video plays of Nightmare in the back area. Nightmare has Spawn in his hand and gestures to the right, where Hybrid is knocked out cold with a chair lying next to him and blood rushing out of his head.

Well, we now know three of the eight men that will represent Meltdown at the “Tournament of Glory.”

Yes, but it doesn’t look like Matt Lee is going to let Lojax move on. Lojax had better be prepared for anything in these upcoming weeks.

After a very exciting night of qualifying matches, we must now break away from those for our Main Event.

Ahh, yes…a rematch for the ROG World Heavyweight Championship between The Sound and Ricky Reynolds.

Can Ricky Reynolds pull out two victories in a row against The Sound? Let’s find out.

This contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the ROG World Heavyweight Championship! Introducing first, hailing from England and weighing in at 245 pounds…being accompanied by Chris Classic…The Sound!

While The Sound seems to be in good health tonight, Chris Classic certainly isn’t.

Why would The Sound bring Chris Classic to ringside in that condition?

Jamarius Jackson follows closely behind and they walk down the ramp together. Ricky Reynolds slides into the ring and hands the belt to Ed Richards. Jamarius Jackson finds a spot at ringside.

And his opponent, hailing from Los Angeles, California and weighing in at 215 pounds, he is your ROG World Heavyweight Champion…being accompanied by Jamarius Jackson…Ricky Reynolds!

Ricky Reynolds doesn’t seem to be in a very happy mood here tonight.

What do you expect? He successfully defended his title against The Sound last night and he has to do again here tonight, without warning! He’s probably still healing from their match. This is true dedication!

Well, Ricky Reynolds once again walks away with the ROG World Heavyweight Championship. I’m so disappointed.

I’m ecstatic! Reynolds and Sound had another epic encounter and Reynolds proved, yet again, why he’s the best and why he has that title.

That’s very true…what I was talking about was how Damien Jones made his presence known here tonight. Chris Classic was minding his own business and Damien Jones took him out.

That’s Damien’s message to him. He just told Classic, “This isn’t over. You’re not wanted here.” What better way to do that than an assault?

You are really opinionated, so I’m not even gonna try to explain anything to you.

Whatever.

Next week on Meltdown, three more “Tournament of Glory” qualifying matches will take place, featuring the three members of The Puerto Rican Express. By this time next week, Meltdown will have six of its eight representatives for “Tournament of Glory.” As for now, I’m Percy Chapman.

And I’m Trent Heart.

Goodnight everyone!
